unexpected gifts



it's a gift when a student comes back for a second helping of workshop and even more so when the student has been working all weekend and produces a sample like the one above

all those delicious colours and patterns produced in a single dye session

absolutely magic!

  7. the gift was not only that the student came back for a second workshop and that she had worked all weekend
